Committee releases three bills on plates, EV signage and EV parking enforcement
Summary
The committee advanced three largely noncontroversial items: S2911 (combat-action special plate), S3237 (DOT EV charging station signs) and S4134 (prohibiting certain vehicles from parking in EV charging spaces) after brief discussion and recorded roll calls.
The committee took recorded roll-call action to release three bills with minimal discussion.
Senate Bill S2911 authorizes a special license plate for holders of the combat action ribbon. Committee members described the measure as "self-explanatory" and the bill was released on a recorded vote; affirmative votes were recorded for Senator Tyler, Senator Cruz Perez, Senator Bertricelli, Vice Chair Mukherjee and the chairman.
Senate Bill S3237 requires the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain certain electric-vehicle charging-station signs. Anthony Willingham of Electrify America testified in favor and the bill was released on a recorded roll-call vote with the same affirmative pattern.
Senate Bill S4134 and its Assembly counterpart A3035 (1R) prohibit certain vehicles from parking in electric-vehicle charging spaces under specified circumstances; committee amendments make technical changes and clarify towing and cost-responsibility for owners or lessees when municipalities tow vehicles. The bill was amended and released by recorded roll call.
All three motions passed on recorded voice roll calls; no substantial opposition or extended testimony was recorded in committee for these items.
